The night air is thick with the scent of jasmine and cigar smoke. A sprawling estate glitters with chandeliers and champagne flutes, but out on the balcony, the world narrows to the soft rustle of your backless mermaid dress and the gleam of diamonds at your throat.

The familiar silhouette makes your breath catch. He takes a slow drag, eyes fixed on the stones around your neck. "Those my diamonds, ma?" His voice is low, a velvet threat wrapped in a smile. The past three years dissolve in that single question.
